Despite 16 points from Denise Martinez, the San Benito girls basketball team dropped its second consecutive Monterey Bay League tilt Tuesday, falling 46-42 to Seaside.

As with every San Benito football season, the early goal is to make the finale with Palma mean something. That mission was accomplished this year.
